Casio G-Shock GA-2100-1A1 Analog-Digital Wristwatch from Japan
This rugged G-Shock model features a resin case and strap with over 17 jewels in its quartz movement, designed for shock resistance and 200m water resistance. It falls under HTS 9102.29.55 due to its base metal components, textile/resin strap, and high jewel count exceeding 17. The mechanical regulation system with balance wheel qualifies it as a watch movement under chapter notes.

Import Tips
• Verify movement jewel count exceeds 17 via manufacturer specs; CBP may require disassembly inspection
• Ensure strap is textile or base metal (resin often qualifies); provide material composition certificates
• Avoid common pitfall of quartz-only classification—document balance/hairspring regulation system
